My understanding of Texas Penal Code 42.01(a)(8) is that you're probably fine unholstering in certain reasonable circumstances, like storing or removing from storage, as long as you take every reasonable step to ensure you are not causing alarm. In order for you to be charged with disorderly conduc...

Your appeal isn't with the DPS, it is before a County Judge/Magistrate/Justice of the Peace (local to you). The DPS may send a representative to explain their findings & logic behind the denial, but the decision to grant your license or not will rest with your local court. You have 30 days to no...

Thank you for posting this, and Praise God for armed citizens that aren't afraid to be good human beings. Praying for an emotional recovery for the victim (and likely some needed for all that stopped to assist).

30.06 & 30.07 both contain the clause "without effective consent". If the instructor has consent (ie, permission) from the HOA (as in Board of Directors, Clubhouse manager, etc), then I would think the signage would not apply for this case. (The sign would be a good visual aid for that...

I wish that I could stay longer, but heading back to the big country tommorrow. if anyone needs transpo...

It's been 5 years since I was there, but if there's a "21 years old beyond this point" sign, as in the bar area of a restaurant, I believe carry is prohibited. If you're going to be around the Tacoma area, watch yourself around the mall. One of the spouses in our unit was mugged around Chr...

What direction are you coming from? There are lots of people displaced by flooding of the Addicks and Barker Reservoirs, and by the flooding along the banks of the Buffalo Bayou just downstream of them. So, if you are coming from the west, send me a PM and I can direct you to the local shelters aro...
